Stargirl Preview: Courtney Juggles Superhero Training with Homecoming

Heading into this week's episode of DC Universe and The CW's Stargirl, we watched Courtney (Brec Bassinger), Yolanda (Yvette Monreal), Beth (Anjelika Washington), and Rick (Cameron Gellman) nearly go the route of the old JSA after a run-in with Lawrence "Crusher" Crock aka Sportsmaster (Neil Hopkins) and Paula Brooks aka Tigress (Joy Osmanski). Thankfully, Pat (Luke Wilson) aka S.T.R.I.P.E. was there to pull their butts out of the fire. But instead of looking to shut down the new JSA for good, Pat offers to train and mentor them instead, seeing a need for a new JSA to counter whatever it is the Injustice Society has planned.

Speaking of the ISA, Jordan Mahkent aka Icicle (Neil Jackson) is gathering his fellow "big bads" to get the lowdown on this new JSA and wake up Henry King Sr. aka Brainwave (Christopher James Baker) for Project: New America (cue: ominous music). Which makes next episode "Shiv Part One" more important as ever, as you're about to see in the following preview images, promo, and overview. Courtney has to juggle being a new superhero, being the leader of a team of new superheroes, and Homecoming (!!!!). We're not sure even a cosmic staff could help Courtney keep that many plates spinning at the same time:

Trae Romano, Christopher James Baker, Jake Austin Walker, and Hunter Sansone also star. Lea Thompson directed the episode, written by Evan Ball.
